Château Pavie Saint-Émilion 1er Grand Cru Classé A 2021 is one of the most prestigious wines of Bordeaux, combining power, finesse, and remarkable depth in a single bottle. Made from a classic blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Cabernet Sauvignon, it reflects the exceptional reputation of Château Pavie and the historic terroir of Saint-Émilion.
Tasting Notes
In the glass, the 2021 vintage shows a deep ruby core with vibrant youthful concentration. Aromas unfold with black cherry, plum, crushed blackberry, violets, graphite, cedar, and subtle spice, supported by refined oak and mineral nuances.
On the palate, it is full-bodied yet beautifully composed, with layered dark fruit, polished tannins, and impressive freshness that gives the wine lift and precision. The finish is long and elegant, with lingering mineral, floral, and spice notes. While already expressive, this wine has excellent aging potential and should continue to evolve gracefully over many years.
Production
Produced in the limestone-rich slopes of Saint-Émilion, Château Pavie benefits from a highly prized terroir that brings both concentration and freshness to the wine. The estate’s vineyards are carefully managed parcel by parcel, with harvesting done by hand to ensure only the best fruit is selected, and vinification carried out with great attention to preserving purity, structure, and balance.
Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with fine cuts of beef, roasted lamb, game birds, truffle dishes, and rich mushroom-based cuisine. Serve at 16–18°C, and consider decanting for 1–2 hours if drinking young, to allow the aromas and structure to open fully.
Producer
Château Pavie is one of Saint-Émilion’s most celebrated estates and has long been regarded as a benchmark for the appellation. Elevated to 1er Grand Cru Classé A status, the château is recognized for producing wines of exceptional quality, depth, and longevity, making it one of the most distinguished names in Bordeaux.
